Here's a look at the Early English Text Society's facsimile edition of Beowulf alongside Zupitza's transliteration. I'm honestly surprised nobody has published a "finished" illuminated replication. Took a few different shots from several passages, again including the feast episode at 1065. #beowulf #facsimile #zupitza #earlyenglishtextsociety #eets #anglosaxon #oldenglish #anglosaxonpoetry #oldenglishpoetry #epicpoetry #poetry #poems #anonymous #alliterativemeter #oldenglishmeter #beowulfmeter #beowulfpoem #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookcollection #literature #oldenglishliterature (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxUpXDog1JF/?igshid=udr0nahbx5ga
